63 .... is the Magic Number!!

The countries in Green support the 'creation' of a 'palestinian' state on Israeli Soil ... Venezuela, North Korea, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria, Iran, Libya, Yemen, and Russia. Good Company!!

On Friday, September 16th, in Ramallah, palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas ~ a.k.a. Abu Mazen ~ chairman of the "palestinian authority" explained his decision to ask the U.N. Security Council to recognize a "palestinian state" thusly.... “The palestinian people have been abused for 63 years, generation after generation, under occupation.” .... 63 years, huh???

Mistakes happen. We all become confused sometimes with the passing of years. But a week earlier, on September 5th, as reported by The New York Times, Abbas told a meeting of Israeli “intellectuals” that “we are going to the U.N. in order to complain that we have lived under occupation in palestine for 63 years.” Oy, another mistake!! And again, here is what Abbas told the Egyptian newspaper Al-Youm al-Sabea on August 27th .... “We are the only nation to still be under occupation after 63 years.”

The Magic number here is 63. But what does he mean? Could it be, as some try to reassure us, that his calculations connect the "Israeli occupation" (ha!) of the last 44 years with the preceding occupation of the “West Bank” by the Jordanian Hashemite kingdom??? Could this be it .... or maybe Mazen is just as confused by numbers here as he is when he denies the Shoah???? (Holocaust)

The Hashemite (Jordanian) military incursion into Judea and Samaria ~ heartland of the tiny Jewish State ~ in May 1948, as part of the effort to abort the newly born State of Israel, was welcomed by the Arab populace (so-called palestinians). The Jordanian occupation continued for 17 years, between April 1950 ~ the date that Judea and Samaria were annexed by the Hashemites ~ until June 1967. Alternatively, the occupation lasted 18 years, since the ceasefire of April 1949. In both cases, the palestinians in Judea and Samaria have been "under occupation" for 61 or at most 62 years, so why does Abbas insist on saying it has been a 63-year occupation? Where does he get this figure from?? Is it a coincidence that this is the number of years that the Jewish State of Israel has existed?

Israeli PM. Benyamin Netanyahu also referred to Abbas's apparent confusion with numbers in his speech to the UN General Assembley last Shabbat, 23rd September .... "Maybe that's what he meant the other day when he said that Israel has been occupying Palestinian land for 63 years. He didn't say from 1967; he said from1948. I hope somebody will bother to ask him this question because it illustrates a simple truth: The core of the conflict is not the settlements. The settlements are a result of the conflict.. The settlements have to be --it's an issue that has to be addressed and resolved in the course of negotiations. But the core of the conflict has always been and unfortunately remains the refusal of the Palestinians to recognize a Jewish state in any border. I think it's time that the Palestinian leadership recognizes what every serious international leader has recognized, from Lord Balfour and Lloyd George in 1917, to President Truman in1948, to President Obama just two days ago right here: Israel isthe Jewish state"The full speech is included below in the Youtube video, & here is the text in pdf format .... a pressie for you to download & read !!!! .... I hope this actually works ....... Netanyahu's Speech to the UN 23rd September, 20011!!!

In a palestinian Authority television channel documentary three weeks ago it was said ..... “Haifa is a famous Palestinian port. Haifa enjoyed a high status among Arabs and the Palestinians, especially before it was occupied in 1948.”

Haifa is in ISRAEL!!!!!!

You have to see it, even if you don't want to believe it. Abbas has not made a mistake in his calculations at all. Since the establishment of the state of Israel and the "occupation" of Haifa & Ha'Shems Holy land by Jews it is true that 63 years have passed. Abbas is not confused at all. He is the head of the PLO, the organization for the liberation of palestine from Jewish presence. As far as he is concerned, the supposed 'palestinians' in the Galilee and the Negev have been occupied for 63 years. And what he seeks is a Judenrein Palestine!!!!!

"As I stated during me interview on FOX Channel, Abbas' statements at the UN are false and outrageous. Construction freeze or territorial concessions in Judea and Samaria or Jerusalem is out of the question. Prime Minister Netanyahu presented the real situation in Israel and I support him and call him to apply Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria in response to unilateral action and therefore cancellation of the Oslo Accords".
